Whoa, what? No, no, that's impossible. It kind of makes sense, but it doesn't at the same time.
I'm currently reading this, but before I do, I would also like so admit that I've wanted to love Majora's Mask more than Ocarina of Time. I've just never completed the game, and I feel ashamed for that. I've always been so intrigued by it, so perhaps once it comes to VC, I'll (and most of us) will get the chance to do so.
Yeah, Majora's Mask has a lot of things that make it so great and fun to play that Ocarina just doesn't have but OOT is just a much better and greater game. Maybe not much, but definitely better.
I don't understand why Zant is in Wind Waker.
No, that just doesn't make sense. In WW, Ganondorf is just chillin' at the bottom the great sea (In old Hyrule) and The Forsaken Fortress. In TP, ganondorf was dumped into the Twilight Realm after a pretty obvious and glaring defeat.
I disagree with your assessment of Zant. He was (for me) a very interesting character, either driven mad by his desire for retribution in a society that has lost it's will to do anything or born mad, ironically saving him from the pitiful sloth that dominates the twilight realm, once filled with the worst and most violent criminals in all of Hyrule. He was interesting because he shouldn't want to conquer anything, just like all the other twili became passive over the ages. I don't know exactly why he went insane, but the fact that he even had a capacity for madness is in itself amazing, considering what we've seen of the twilight realm.
I don't know, Midna had some depth, character-wise. She didn't seem very passive either. For some reason Midna and Zant are the only two Twili characters like this, and they're also the only two Twili characters we get to know lol
I thought Zant was also stuck in the twilight realm.
That doesn't sound quite right. It would be as if the Hylians/goddesses threw all the worst prisoners into one cell, and gave their elected leader the key.
To further support my post, the true Ruler of Twilight is the only one able to destroy the Mirror of Twilight. Because Zant was not the true ruler, he was only able to break it in four. Having adopted the power of Ganon, he was able to emulate the power that the true Ruler of Twilight would have, but not to its full potential, as only Midna withheld that power, and hence, why Zant/Ganon transformed her into a weakened imp.
I believe the Goddesses to be less of beings with consciences, and rather three universal energies that govern the existence of everything, hence, the Triforce, as a relic representative of this universal power. It is dispersed by their will, or more so their nature, to those who must have it. Like my idea suggested, Link, the natural receiver of the Triforce of Courage, was born into a Hyrule without the receivers of the Triforces of Power and Wisdom, Ganon and Zelda respectively. They, inversely, were born into the parallel Hyrule. As a means of maintaining balance and governing all that exists, the Goddesses, or the universal energies of nature brought these worlds together in the course of a stream of bizarre events. My idea suggested that the Triforce was actually split between both parallel worlds.
My "theory" is just what I want to be true, and I recognized it as wrong while I was stating it. Not only that, but Midna was selected by the people of the Twilight Realm to lead rather than Zant. In essence, the ruler of twilight is democratically elected from among the worst criminals in the history of Hyrule.
Please try and understand this. Listen carefully.
Ganon and Zant being of the same tribe isn't that improbable. If the criminals of Hyrule were banished to Twilight, then Zant would be a descendant of them. It's quite probable that their outfits are traditional for leaders of the Gerudo, and that this was kept in Twilight to preserve some sort of heritage. Same with the weapons. In the Gerudo Fortress in OoT, the Gerudo guards that you had to fight at each cell all used two swords. This combined with WW Ganon and TP Zant suggests that it's a traditional Gerudo combat form. This to me makes more sense as an explanation for all the similarities. As for their similar desires, as was said before, it's not exactly uncommon among villains of games as well as other media.
I am well aware that it is impossible for WW Ganon to be Zant. That is the reason why it bothers me that they are too much alike to assume a coincidence. I can even accept that one timeline's Zant is another timeline's Ganon. However, I cannot accept that the two characters are in no way related. Heck, if the WW Ganon and Zant swapped games, the games would play exactly the same right up until their respective final battles, because right up until Zant reveals just how insane he is, he acts exactly the same way WW Ganon would.
The adventure.
Doesn't that conflict directly with the current understanding of Zelda timelines?
Isn't it a bit early to be speculating?
The train is Navi! It's the long-awaited sequel to MM! Link travels the world in search of his long-lost companion, but he fails. Dejected, he returns to Hyrule only to find that Navi had returned. But she's been cursed! Now, with this revelation, and a mysterious new technology's introduction to Hyrule, Link must uncover this new mystery!
